Pros

Benifits are good and Sheetz is just down the street. Quarterly bonuses but they are small. That's about it. Seriously that's all .

Cons

Low pay and because of it alot of employees have an IQ below 100. Forest Gump is smarter than alot of my coworkers.

Pros

Fair medical insurance is all.

Cons

Everything. Very bad pay, extremely dirty ,crude and unsafe work environment. The supervisors are so bad I cannot believe they don't have a ton of lawsuits. Fermentation is the worst of all departments. Every supervisor that has been there over 3 years should be fired or nothing will never change.
